Eventually...: Long-term heavy alcohol use will interfere with the function of your bone marrow, causing a shortage of the blood clotting platelet cells. Alcohol also causes reductions in vital nutrients and vitamins, such as folate (folic acid) and thiamine, which can lead to "megaloblastic" anemia with immature and larger blood cells than normal in your circulation.
